Amplitude (AMPL) drew fresh attention after appointing Vijaye Raji, founder of Statsig and current CTO of Applications at OpenAI, to its board as a Class III director and Cybersecurity Committee member.
Despite the board change, Amplitude’s recent trading has been choppy, with the share price falling 6.82% over the last day and 5.02% over the past week, following a strong 90-day share price return of 53.81% and 1-year total shareholder return of 48.84%, which points to momentum building over the medium term, even as the 5-year total shareholder return of 78.61% remains deeply negative.
